Default 782 vanguard swap

Hello all. I recently aquired a 782 with a bad motor for free and a good used vanguard for cheap. I’m gonna be swapping the vanguard into the 782 but I’m just wondering what all exactly I’ll need? I’m having a wiring harness made up currently, and I got the pto that came from the vanguard originally. What else would I need? Thanks.

1: Drive shaft. I would use one from a 1641 or 1440
2: Motor plate and spacers. Again one from a 1641 or 1440
3: Muffler. Again one from a 1641 or 1440
4: Pump adapter to adapt the early style pump to the later drive shaft. Parts by Jeff
5: Cooling duct work. I used some roll plastic that I got from a race car supply.

Pics are from a 1210 that I did years ago, pretty much same as what you want to do.

The fan shroud on the engine needs to be sealed as best it can over to the firewall on the machine. This keeps the engine from cooking itself. You want the engine to pull air from under the tunnel cover where it will be cooler and cleaner if your machine still has the belly screen on it. The middle pic that Sam posted shows that. Good luck on your transplant and post some pics when you can.

what did you do for a throttle cable? is there someone or someplace that sells throttle cable "stock" to make my own cable? mine is going to be too short. choke cable will end up being alright.

I know Lawn mower shops have "universal" Stens or Arnold brand "make your own" cables
I've also seen them at TSC,Farm home and larger HWD stores.
I'm sure the net' /evil pray will also have them
I have seen them at tractor show flea markets.
They usually come with a control bracket/handle which I dispose of and just use the jacket/sheath and wire cutting it to length.
A needle nose pliers works nice to put the proper kinks on the ends or the wire.
( they make a nice "tool" that makes the "Z" end on the wire for that factory correct look on the end) but a needle nose works just as good for me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
